"St Leonards", circa 1895

Meticulously maintained by its current owners for the last 53 years, this substantial slate-roofed Victorian transitional family residence enjoys pride of place in the heart of the vaunted "Tara Estate" An abundance of fine authentic architectural detail is evident throughout the spacious and elegant original rooms with their lofty decorative ceilings and polished baltic pine floors. Modernised kitchen and bathroom facilities ensure that the house is immediately very comfortably liveable whilst the potential for renovation or extension (STCA) is limitless.

The characteristic tessellated tile return verandah opens to a broad arched entrance hall flanked by generously proportioned formal sitting and dining rooms, each graced by a magnificent marble OFP. A broad central passage accesses a main bedroom of luxuriously large dimensions, an adjacent bathroom and two further double bedrooms. A fourth double bedroom and second bathroom open from an expansive family room while a well appointed kitchen incorporates a spacious informal dining room.

Opening from the family room, an expansive brick paved outdoor area lends itself to alfresco living and entertaining and links the house to a versatile brick studio with a further bathroom, a single garage and a carport.

Occupying a wide allotment of some 943sqm, the property abuts a wide right-of-way at the rear providing easy access to the private and secure garden and affording optimum flexibility for design and construction of extensions, additional garaging or the incorporation of a swimming pool (STCA)

Perfectly positioned at the mid-point of this highly regarded heritage streetscape, "St Leonards" is just 200m from Burke Road tram, providing easy access to a host of fine schools, Camberwell railway station, shops, restaurants and cinemas.
